Bryce:
Playlist
from June 1, 2012

I never miscue a record. I am punctual, well-prepared, and dislike clutter. Outgoing and helpful, I'm always appropriately dressed. I do not behave erratically and have excellent penmanship. My CD's never skip, and I am in good health. I like all the notes, in any order.

Looms:
Hello everyone!
Bryce, have you heard Jean-François Laporte's "Mantra" which was released in the Collection Pour L'Oreille by Metamkine? He uses the cooling system of a hockey arena.

Fri. 6/1/12 12:27pm
Looms:
I mean, the sound of the cooling system of a hockey arena.

Fri. 6/1/12 12:35pm
bryce:
hahaaa, that sounds amazing :) i wonder if we have that here. we used to get some metamkine stuff....

Fri. 6/1/12 12:36pm
George of Troy:
G'day everyone! Looms, thanks for the tip... Sounds like something I'd like to check out.

Fri. 6/1/12 12:43pm
BSI:
Lasse! He did a brutal set down here a while back...

Fri. 6/1/12 12:52pm
BDR:
I like all your shows, Bryce, but I love the drone shows best.

Fri. 6/1/12 12:52pm
BSI:
...whereas this Baschet piece has me thinking it's time to dig out the CARNIVAL OF SOULS dvd this weekend...

Fri. 6/1/12 12:54pm
Chris from DC:
Looms, I thought I saw a review that said Laporte recorded a Zamboni?

Fri. 6/1/12 1:02pm
Carmichael:
Hiya Brycey boy. Hello everyone.

Fri. 6/1/12 1:02pm
bryce:
thx, BDR! been kind of on a kick lately.....

looms, no luck — plenty of mario lanza, though!

Swan:
Further to the Laporte discussion -- it may be easier to find that piece now on 23five. They reissued it a few years ago, and added a handful of other stuff. The rest is (mostly) great too, as I remember.

@Tom M: what museum was that? I was in Berlin recently and will probably back in the not-too-distant future.

Looms, aren't you from northern France?

ZB: ..and blood. I was at the Caps practice rink over in Ballston last year and somebody must have gotten run over by a skate. Blood everywhere. They were trying to sweep it up..

Fri. 6/1/12 1:29pm
dc pat:
I imagine it sounds a lot like this down in the rat holes in our neighbor's backyard in the middle of the night...

Actually, the only person I'd ever heard use the term "hooha" is Kristen Chenowith, and it wasn't any part on the average man.

Fri. 6/1/12 1:50pm
Sam Spade:
I held up my end. You got your dingus. It's your hard luck it wasn't what you wanted.

Fri. 6/1/12 1:51pm
kat330:
What's that about a hard dingus, Spade?

Fri. 6/1/12 1:53pm
Sam Spade:
Then you think the dingus is worth a million?

Fri. 6/1/12 1:54pm
Robot Stripper:
Can you hold up *my* end, Sammy?

Fri. 6/1/12 1:54pm
kat330:
Only if it's Maltese.

Fri. 6/1/12 1:55pm
Sam Spade:
The stuff that dreams are made of.

kat330:
Speaking of percussion, I made a serviceable maraca this morning. Just some brown rice (uncooked, bocoors) in an empty plastic container (Talenti pint gelato in this instance). Worked extremely well.

Fri. 6/1/12 1:59pm
Maltese:
arf! arf!

Fri. 6/1/12 2:00pm
kat330:
Who's a good doggie!!

Fri. 6/1/12 2:01pm
Maltese:
[sits up and begs, doing his best Asta]

Fri. 6/1/12 2:01pm
Mr Donut:
So that's what a Maltese Bippy looks like

Fri. 6/1/12 2:02pm
Maltese:
I accept Ken-L-Hooha

Fri. 6/1/12 2:03pm
still b/p:
I gave a pocket maraca to a musician friend -- small ball bearings in a contact lens case...allows you to alter the sound quality by making your hand tighter and more loose on it while it's held in the palm.

Fri. 6/1/12 2:04pm
kat330:
Very interesting, s b/p. Yeah, I tried all sorts of kitchen items before I hit on the right sound I wanted. I can alter the pitch a bit by how full I fill with rice.

Fri. 6/1/12 2:06pm
Experimental Musician:

Is this screw the station ID hour? :) I don't think Bryce likes the mic.

Fri. 6/1/12 2:07pm
steve from cleve:
I had a nice pots'n'pans session a few weeks back. who needs costly percussion items when the whole world is one big bang.

Fri. 6/1/12 2:07pm
Experimental Musician:
He probably whispered it under the track

Fri. 6/1/12 2:07pm
"the mic":
actually, Bryce LICKS the mic

Fri. 6/1/12 2:08pm
kat330:
If he whispered during the piercing Fort, I could've missed while the mute was on.

Fri. 6/1/12 2:08pm
Maltese:
One big bang? I'll take that

Fri. 6/1/12 2:09pm
The Log Lady:
Hi Bryce! The log has a special message for you today; please remember to obey it's instructions! :-)

Fri. 6/1/12 2:09pm
kat330:
Chenowith's dog -- maybe a Maltese? -- licks her directly in the mouth, to bring this hooha/dog of a discussion full circle.

Fri. 6/1/12 2:09pm
FCC rep, undercover:
we'll take Bryce licking the mic as a station id. No one else in the world does that. Station ID'd.

Fri. 6/1/12 2:10pm
FCC addendum:
Bryce doesn't do station ID, he does station OD

Fri. 6/1/12 2:10pm
northguineahills:
I've borrowed my/gf's metal bowls and my friend's weights just for the sounds many of times.

Fri. 6/1/12 2:11pm
kat330:
That's a good DJ! :)

Fri. 6/1/12 2:11pm
FCC addendum:
The ELS track KICKS ASS!!!!!!!!!!!

Fri. 6/1/12 2:11pm
Mike East:
Kristen Chenowith was here a few weeks ago. I'm not sure who she is or what she does, but her music really got on my nerves. Not my thing.

Fri. 6/1/12 2:13pm
kat330:
She's a Broadway baby. I'm not a fan of the little-girl voice either, nor her repertoire. An awful lot of little-girl voices are beloved at this station, however.

tim from champaign:
How come WFMU only plays that one song by EAS Test? It's a good jam but don't you think it's a bit lazy playing just that one song?

Fri. 6/1/12 2:15pm
kat330:
@NGH: I also found a metal teaspoon striking the edge of a metal one-cup measure makes a cool sound. Very cowbell-ish.

Fri. 6/1/12 2:16pm
FCC addendum:
EAS has put out 29 CD's, but all with the same arrangement. You can't top perfection. They tried actual marbles in a blender, but that just didn't cut it.

Fri. 6/1/12 2:20pm
FCC addendum:
Had this been an actual emergency, it would have been tough noogies on you.

Fri. 6/1/12 2:20pm
BSI:
diggin' this.
get me? DIGGIN'.

Fri. 6/1/12 2:21pm
steve from cleve:
"tough" is the only way I've ever had my noogies. I've come to prefer it.

Fri. 6/1/12 2:23pm
Graveyard Workers Local 216:
I dig.

Fri. 6/1/12 2:23pm
tim from champaign:
The EAS Test songs that are played on the country stations fill me with more confidence in case there was an emergency. It has a lot of patriotism and swagger to it unlike the self-loathing and apologetic WFMU EAS jams.

If youse guys in NJ are still with the hot temps, get ready for a change in weather. It's now almost 30 degrees cooler in the Louisville area compared with Mem. Day.

Fri. 6/1/12 2:25pm
BSI:
gettin' diggy widdit. or something.
Just play this track repeatedly until you receive further instructions. Thanking you in advance, etc...

Despite the "cold snap," it was a done deal for me to fix potato salad today, which is why now I'll be away from the keyboard for a bit.

NYC meteo: was sunny this morning, cloudy right now, rain forceast for tonight and tomorow morning. In the low 70s right now, after most of a week in the upper 80s and really humid...

About Dreyblatt: "The Adding Machine," represents my first venture into consecutive melody, utilizing the vertical tuning structure found on the fingerboard of an electric guitar which has been modified to perform in the tuning system used in my music. The piece gradually makes its way through successive tonal permutations expressed in "circular" patterns."
